The Resort

Saas-Fee is an ancient beautiful and traditional car free village in a superb high-altitude setting surrounded with 13 four thousand metre snow capped peaks including the highest mountain in Switzerland, the Dom (4,545m), forming a dramatic and unique backdrop. At an altitude of 1800m, with skiing upto 3500m, Saas Fee is one of the most snow sure resorts in the Alps with over 100km of skiing and a modern lift system - plus awesome views. Its high altitude allows skiiing on the glacier from the beginning of July through to the start of the winter season in November and the season goes on until the late April.
